Abstract
Desktop workstations represent a largely untapped source of
computational power for parallel computing. Two of the main
problems in utilizing these workstations are developing strategies
for migrating load so that partially loaded workstations can
contribute CPU cycles to the computations, and making dynamically
migratable application programs easy to write. This paper describes
object arrays, a construct which makes dynamically migratable
applications easier to write, and a simple strategy for migrating
load on a workstation cluster.
